If we can't agree on a definition for religion, then saying I belong to a religion is a fairly meaningless statement no?
152.
by randlet 6y ago
It's still not clear to me how that implies I have a religion. Being influenced, consciously or subconsciously does not mean I have a religion, but maybe I'm misunderstanding your point.

How does that imply I have a religion? Doesn't religion have some element of the supernatural by definition? edit: reworded.

As someone who would deny having a religion, can you clarify what you mean by that?

Yes, I agree in this case it's exploitative.

For sure. Certainly not ideal but better than naught.

If you knew you could flip a $16k investment into a $1MM return practically overnight I bet you could come up with $16k in an instant.

Most of the creators I watch are switching to a combination of Patreon and in-video advertising "reads" (have you heard about Kiwi Co?!?) both of which cut Google out of the equation so it's not too surprising to me Google is

Exactly. Apple has done a good job of selling the "we care about your privacy" line, but it's still just a line they're feeding you.

It looks nice and seems very fast but doesn't seem like it has walking & biking paths in my area.

MotoGP obviously doesn't have the same level of tech as F1 but it is the apex of racing series IMO. Dorna has done a great job with the rules to keep the series competitive in recent years. It's amazing that there are 5 out of 6

A gift (c. 1997?) from my parents of a "box" of Turbo Pascal is easily one of the most influential moments of my life. It was such a great programming environment and the docs (books!) were fantastic and quite accessible. I&#x27

I also checked out this one! Can't run it on multiple servers unfortunately which disqualifies it for my use ( https://github.com/arteria/django-background-tasks/issues/10... )

I also evaluated Huey when I was looking around and it seems nice. IIRC the main reasons I chose Django-Q were 1) Built in DB as a broker (Huey is mainly focused on Redis I think) 2) Django-Q can run multiple clusters (I run in an AWS auto

For anyone who's been looking for a simpler Task Queue for Django, check out Django-Q [1], it's been working very nicely for me. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Celery but it's very simple to get up and run

I really think "it's 90% rider and 10% machine" is a big exaggeration in MotoGP. Even Marquez is not going to win a race on a current generation Aprilia, and I'm not sure there is anyone other than Marquez who can win

Not happy about it but it worked in Canada for me too.

Even though this is not related, you may have missed Google Play Music which was Googles Spotify competitor. It's getting axed in favour of YouTube Music.

True. I sometimes stream university stations in Canada but there are no college/university stations that I can get on broadcast radio.

I don't know about where you live, but where I am in Canada the majority of FM radio is as bad or worse than cable television; constant ads, stale "radio friendly" music and DJ's with inane banter and making bad jokes. I

Google maps is still pretty amazing. Maps and search are the only two Google products I still struggle to move away from. (I am a big fan of Play Music too but of course they killed it.)

As general rule of thumb exercising close to exhaustion 4-6 times a week will greatly improve your ability to sleep and overall mental well being.
